PVT CHAT (2020) - full transcript

Jack is an internet gambler living in NYC who becomes fixated on Scarlet - a cam girl from San Francisco. His obsession reaches a boiling point when fantasy materializes in reality and Jack sees Scarlet on a rainy Chinatown street.

Hey.

Do you smoke?

In private.

Cool, will
you do verbal abuse?

Yeah, for sure.

It'll be easier with you.

I can just tell.

Where are you from?

San Francisco.

I'm from New York City.

I don't
care.



I bet you wanna see my
tits so bad, don't you?

Oh, fuck.

Yeah.

Okay, that's it.

That's all you get.

Fuck.

I'm so fucking hard.

Well, if you wanna
come, you have to tip me.

Fuck, okay.

You know what?

Now I don't even
wanna smoke anymore.

- Stick your tongue out.
- Okay.

Stick your tongue out.

Okay, I'm putting it
out on your tongue now.



Okay.

Swallow it.

Swallow the butt.

I want you to kiss
the bottom of my shoe.

Ready?

Kiss it.

Lick it, lick it.

You're so dumb.

I bet you wanna come
on my ass, don't you?

- Yeah?
- Uh-huh.

Unfortunately,

slaves don't get
to experience this.

You guys can only
watch from afar.

I want you to come hard for me.

- Okay, slave?
- Okay.

Oh God.

- I'm coming.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

You
coming for me now?

Uh-huh.

Give
me all your cum.

It's all mine.

Yeah.

Oh, hi.

Do you have any sessions
available tonight?

Oh, good.

So how much usually
do you charge?

220?

Okay.

And that's for all the way?

Heads.

Fuck.

Oh, hey, Henry, did
you get my check?

Yeah, three weeks late.

Sorry, man.

Where are you going?

Out!

Player
has blackjack!

Yeah!

Player busts.

Please, dear God.

- Dealer busts.
- Yes!

Player wins.

Dealer has blackjack.

God damn it.

Would
you like insurance?

No.

Come on, come on!

Dealer
has blackjack.

Fuck!

Hi, babe.

Wanna go private?

Yeah,
mostly just chilling.

I am actually about to
play some blackjack.

Ooh!

Yeah, it's actually
what I do for a living.

Really?

Really.

What do you do,
like count cards?

No, I don't count cards.

I play online mostly,

so you can't count them online.

Do you wanna play with me?

I could show you some strategy.

We could even play
in the same room.

Let's just do it.

Let's just get in a
room and start playing.

What do you think?

Actually, babe,

it's getting a little
bit late for me.

Oh, really?

Come on, we just
started chatting.

Do you want me to tip you more?

I can be generous with my tips.

It
was nice to talk to you.

Oh, for real?

That's how it's gonna be?

Sorry, babe.

All right, well
I'm attracted to you.

Gotta go, babe.

Fuck.

Hey, what's up?

Look who it is.

Good to see
you again.

I didn't expect
you back so soon.

I was pretty brutal last time.

What have you been doing

since we last spoke?

Nothing much,

just abusing slaves like you.

Come on.

How much do I have to tip
you for you to just like,

drop the act a little
bit and just talk to me?

200 Tokens.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Ooh, 200 tokens.

I guess I used to
kind of enjoy painting.

Wow, that's fucking
awesome.

No, it's not.

Yes, that's amazing!

You're an artist?

That's the coolest thing
I've heard all day.

Ugh, well then your
life must be pretty boring

if that's the coolest
thing you've heard all day.

I'm impressed.

Do you have anything
I could see,

- like a painting to show me?
- No.

What do you do?

I work in the tech industry.

Oh, cool.

So you like, fix computers
and cell phones and stuff?

Well, I
don't fix computers.

I'm an app developer.

Oh, cool.

Well, I'm actually
currently developing this app

that's gonna like,

totally revolutionize the
way people communicate.

Well, okay.

Well, so basically,
it's a device

that will allow people
to trade thoughts,

like directly through the cloud

without having to talk or type,

but just think.

Yeah, it's called See Stream.

So is it like a chip?

Like am I implanted?

Basically using
nanotechnology,

we're gonna develop a chip

that goes into one of
the parts of your brain,

which we're not sure yet.

And it's gonna be something

that basically
digitizes thoughts

and allows them

to be accessed by anyone
in the world that signs up

for this subscription-based
service that we're offering.

So I could hear someone's
thoughts from across the world,

like a random person
that also has this chip?

Yeah, yeah,
if they sign up

for the See Stream, yeah.

Whoa, that's cool!

God, honestly,
I just can't wait

for people to really
experience this

because I think that
me talking about it

doesn't really do it justice.

Because I think when you hear
about it, you think like,

"Oh, I get to read
someone's thoughts."

They'd be like a
stream of thoughts

or a stream of words.

But when you're
inside See Stream,

you're literally experiencing
someone's thoughts

as if they were your thoughts.

Would you love to know what
I'm thinking about right now?

Yes, what
are you thinking?

Can you tell me?

That
you should tip me.

I don't think
you're thinking that.

What are you really think?

Do you want me to smoke?

Yeah, but
can you just tell me

what you're thinking, please?

I don't care.

It doesn't have to
be anything cool.

I just want to know.

Ugh.

I'm thinking that I wish I was

as passionate about something
as you are about See Stream.

Just do
me a favor, okay?

Think of every person you know.

Uh-huh.

No, think, think.

Think of your friends, your
lovers, people from work,

your parents, your family,

all the people you interact
with on social media.

Are you thinking?

Uh-huh.

How do you
relate to these people?

I don't
know, it depends.

No, no, come on.

Tell me, what's the common
thread in all your relationships?

I don't know.

You use these
people or they use you.

That's not just because
you're a cam girl.

Behind every single
interaction that you'll have

is one,

maybe two thoughts;

what can I get out of this

or what is it that
you're gonna do for me?

I'ma put it out on your tongue.

You feel the burning, don't you?

Yeah, swallow it!

Swallow it.

What do you say?

Thank you.

Yeah, are you
gonna cum for me now?

Yeah.

Tell me when
you're about to cum.

Okay.

Tell me when
you're about to cum.

You almost there?

Yeah.

Yeah, you're really close?

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay, stop.

Stop.

Okay, let me see your hands.

I wanna make sure you stopped.

Let me see your hands.

Ugh, you're so
disgusting.

Hold this.

Hey, when do you think
we can renew the lease?

Can we do that today or?

I'm not gonna
renew your lease.

Look, I'm gonna
have some guys come

and do some repairs next week.

They're gonna repaint this wall

and they're gonna
install that skylight.

You know my subletter?

He died,

so he's been out for a bit.

Not that you care,

but all right, well.

Oh.

I didn't hear that.

Fuck, what the
fuck is going on?

Hey there.

How are you?

My name's William.

You can call me Will.

Jesus fucking Christ, man.

This paint smells
like fucking shit.

Yeah, I
guess you get used to it.

Do you really have
to be doing this now?

No.

And we're getting paid to do it.

Get it done a little
faster if you wanna help.

You're not gonna
believe this shit, man.

Honest to God.

I'm in San Francisco in
1978 looking for a job.

This guy has got this ad
looking for a sprayer,

so I go up to see him.

Old man, dingy office, right?

Just me and him.

Old guy looks like Willie
Nelson or something, right?

And he says, "Hey man,
I looked at your resume.

"I know you can spray.

"You want this job?"

I'm like, "Yeah,
I need the money.

"I really need the money."

He's like, "You sure
you want this job?"

I'm like, "Yeah,
yeah, I want the job."

Then he takes his nose, right,

off of his face and he
puts it on his desk.

I'm staring at these two holes
in the middle of his face.

His nose is sitting on his
desk like a freaking trophy.

I'm just looking at his nose.

And I got freaked out.

I didn't say yes, I didn't
say no, I just got up and ran.

I mean, try to pick up some
chicks with that number, huh?

You can't even get
any mercy action.

Hey, do you mind if I
just throw some shit

in that empty room?

Yeah, sure, go for it.

Thanks.

So how are things
with the See Stream?

Oh, thank you so
much for asking.

They're great.

You know,

no, no, we had a phone meeting

with one of my investors today,

and it's incredible.

He just okayed the
second round of funding.

So I mean we're good
with our research.

We can do the second phase.

It's actually incredible.

No way, really?

Yeah.

Oh my
God, congratulations.

Well, thank you so much.

That's great news.

Yeah, I was actually thinking

about See Stream earlier
today this morning.

You were?

Uh-huh.

No way, really?

Yep.

What was the context?

Well, I
was reading a book.

What kind of book?

I don't remember.

Okay?

But it
was a painting book,

and I was just thinking like,

it would be so cool to read it,

or like, I dunno, I guess
experience it over See Stream.

That is so cool

that you were thinking
about See Stream

just like in your personal life.

Oh my God,

that gives me all the
inspiration I could ever need

for like, 10 lifetimes,

like 10 See Streams.

But you'll be inside the
mind of your favorite author.

I mean,

what could be a more gratifying
experience than that?

Yeah, that's true.

You could totally
understand not just

because it's a painting book,

not just like how they did it,

'cause you could
only read so much

from a historical
point of view, right?

But if you are literally
inside the mind of the artist,

you might be able to get
something of their soul.

Hey man, did you put this
hole in the wall here, man?

No, that
was my roommate.

Are you as good at
blackjack as you say you are?

Yeah, I'm pretty good.

Yeah, can you
teach me a few things?

Sure.

Do you wanna play?

Yeah,
man, I'd love to.

Do you have money?

I got a little bit of bread.

What do you need?

Well, I mean,
whatever you got.

But you know, I
got a friend of mine.

He loves cards.

If he's not in jail,
he'd come right over.

Okay, cool, let's do it.

You don't mind?

Mind?

No, let's go!

Let's go!

All right, see,
14 against a four,

some people would
say you have to stay,

but with a player like me,

how I'm feeling,

you gotta put your balls

- on the face cards.
- You already got

two face cards.

You're bound

- to get another one.
- No, no, no, it's happening.

See, you see?

Didn't I say he'd
get another one?

He's gonna bust, he's
gonna bust, he's gonna bust.

- Yes!
- Yes, bust!

That is so exactly how
I fucking fuck with them.

That is how I
fucked them in the.

- 1,000.
- Here we go,

here we go, here we go, 16.

20.

- Stay, stay, stay!
- 20, stay, stay, stay!

This is ours.

Yes!

- 1,000 bucks!
- Oh, shit!

Yes, that's what I'm talking...

Look at this balance.

Look at this balance, bitches!

Look at this fucking balance!

4,500, man.

- Oh my God, I'm hot!
- Yeah!

Oh my God, I'm hot!

Woo, yes!

That is why they call
me Blackjack Jack.

All right, okay.

That's how we fucking,

this is how we go.

Blackjack Jack.

Dealer 21, you lose.

Yes!

Player wins.

Yes!

Dealer 20, you lose.

You.

- Oh my God.
- Player busts.

You lose.

Please insert
money to play more.

No more bets.

35 black odd.

You're
alienated from other people.

I'm not, I see
people all the time.

I do.

And in fact, knowing
this about people

makes me feel more
connected to them.

When I was living
with the delusion

that people actually
cared for me,

it was much more
alienating than knowing

that that was just false.

You don't think
anyone cares for you?

I think they do in moments

when it props up
their own worldview

about them as a caring person.

♪ Nowhere else in this
world I'd rather be ♪

♪ Than with you here ♪

♪ Playing songs with me ♪

Hey there, gorgeous.

Damn, you really are gorgeous.

Hello, are you there?

Hello?

Can I help you, sir?

Oh.

No.

It's good, I'm sorry.

Hey, Emma, what's up?

I saw your text.

You got plans tonight?

Mic check.

Look at you showing up!

Oh, hey!

Hey!

Oh yeah, this
looks incredible.

I ordered way
too many bottles of wine.

Drink as much as you like.

Mic check.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Who are friends over here?

Oh my God, you've
gotta meet these guys.

They're great.

- Larry?
- Mic check.

Mic check.

Jack, what's up?

Come over here for a second.

Oh, hey, what's up, baby girl?

So Larry, this
is my friend, Emma.

Damn, look at that dress,
look at that little nose ring.

- Nice to meet you, Emma.
- Nice to meet you.

She made the art
here, this is all hers.

- Wow, you made all this?
- Yeah, I did.

- That's very impressive.
- Thank you.

I like it.

What do you think it's?

It's beautiful.

Not as beautiful as
you though, of course.

Mic check.

I actually know a couple
guys who are really into art

that would probably
pay you very handsomely

for selling them some art.

You really know people
that would buy art?

Yes, I do, I know
a lot of people.

- For real?
- Yes, for real!

Come on, you don't
know anyone like that.

Why are you always
doubting me, bro?

What?

I'm not always doubting you.

I mean, I know
you just met me,

but like, come on.

I'm a stand up guy.

I need to teach you
how to box some day.

- Come on.
- No, I can't.

This is a civilized place.

Nobody's doubting
my integrity.

I'm not totally doubting...

could do it all day.

Learn how to box, man!

Get into a hobby!

Come on, come on, come on, Jack.

I'm gonna be right back, I'll
be right back.

Come on, Jack, come
on, Jack, come on, Jack.

Wait, wait, wait.

Watch out for her bread, man!

I know, dude, dude.

This guy's gonna
fuck up your art.

Emma Voiceover: Mic check.

Hey, I know you
ain't gonna grab me!

Mic check.

Dude, dude, shit.

All right,
all right, all right.

You are the superior boxer.

Oh, whoa, whoa.

Yeah, yeah, get strong.

I like that.

- I like that.
- Would you quit that?

I like that, I like that.

You've got some strength.

I'll fucking kill you.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Yeah.

Larry!

You underestimate
me, motherfucker?

- Guys, what the fuck?
- Mic check.

Are you
kidding me right now?

Stop, stop, stop!

Check.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Ugh, another inane artwork

on the failure of
Occupy Wall Street.

Mic check.

It wasn't a failure.

Mic check.

Well, I
didn't say it was a failure.

No, you did.

You just said Occupy Wall
Street was a failure.

I think we all could agree

that the artwork
could be stronger,

but I do agree with you
that Occupy Wall Street

as a movement was necessary.

It was necessary.

I mean, it spread
to 82 countries.

It like, made the whole
idea of the class divide

a popular concept.

Yeah, but so what?

What did it accomplish?

No, but that's the point.

It didn't accomplish anything.

I mean,
nothing for nothing.

You know any
rich guys that have any

spare change lying around?

Big spenders?

My son got into this
really good college.

Mic check.

- Mic check.
- Mic check.

- Mic check.

Mic...

So what
are you up to now?

Do you wanna maybe
come back to my spot?

I thought we weren't allowed
to see each other again?

No, I don't mean like that.

- I don't mean like that!
- Part of your rules.

I mean just as friends.

We could hang out.

I could play some blackjack,
show you some tricks.

I don't want to watch
you play video games.

It's not a fucking video game!

It's my job!

Look, just because I don't
have a conventional job

like your idle yuppie friends

- doesn't make me a fucking...
- Yuppie?

What the fuck?

- What the fuck?
- Is this the 80s?

God, you gotta insult better.

What?

I gotta get
you another time.

This is so typical.

Can I get
some more wine?

Yeah, I mean, there's
a store like on Bushwick,

if you wanna go?

Cool.

Hey, I actually have
to make a phone call.

So you want me to get it?

Okay.

Wait, so what's this
doppelganger that you've seen?

I saw a girl and she
looks exactly like you.

I bet she wasn't as hot as me.

She looked exactly like you.

Okay, well I've never
been to New York, so.

Huh, can you smoke for me?

Is that what you want?

You wanna see smoke come out
of my big beautiful lips?

Uh-huh.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You know, Jackie?

Maybe you're right.

Maybe I do live next door.

Wouldn't that be torture?

Oh God, that would suck.

To know that I'm so close?

And you think about me all day

and fantasize
about me all night.

Don't you wish you could
play with my pussy?

Slaves don't get to
play with my pussy.

So you'll just have to
settle for the smoke.

Open up.

- Your cock is mine.
- Uh-huh.

- Your cum is mine.
- Uh-huh.

- You are mine.
- Uh-huh.

Your money is mine.

Jack?

Jack,
give me all that cum.

- It's my cum.
- Fuck.

- Yeah.
- It's my fucking cum.

Yeah.

Cum for me, Jackie.

What the fuck are
you doing in my room?

Hey, could I borrow
your copy of Ulysses?

No, I'm right in
the middle of that.

Believe it or not, so am I.

It's getting kind of late.

I think I should
probably get going.

You're gonna make me
finish this bottle by myself?

You're so tense.

Can't be good for you

to be staring at your computer
all day long gambling.

Yeah, probably not.

Definitely not.

Hey, you know what?

You should go to one of
my classes some time.

Yeah, I don't think so.

You know, yoga's
not really my thing.

Who is that, Larry?

Listen, Emma, I'm sorry.

I really have to go.

Well, who is it?

Come on!

I don't wanna let you
sneak out of this.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I gotta take this.

Sorry.

Hello?

No, not at all.

Who is it?

What do you wanna show me?

Who is it?

Who is it?

No.

Who is it?

So what is this that
you wanna show me?

Okay, I haven't
shown anyone yet, okay?

You're the first person.

Oh, I'm the first?

- Wow.
- Okay, that's an honor.

It's an honor that I
am bestowing upon you.

Can you see it?

Oh my God, whoa!

That's fucking incredible.

I want
your honest opinion.

Oh my, yes.

Move it in closer.

I wanna see it close.

Oh shit.

I love this view.

Damn, there's like whole worlds

inside all those little details.

Okay, slow down.

No, really, this
is so fucking good.

It's amazing.

And I'm not just saying that

because I wanna
get in your pants.

You totally wanna
get in my pants.

I mean, maybe yes,

but this is...

You wanna get in
my pants so bad.

No, I'm serious!

I don't believe
a word you say!

What?

It's like one of the best
paintings I've ever seen.

This could totally be on one

of the walls at
the fucking MoMA.

Yeah, okay, sure.

- You're crazy.
- I'm serious right now.

You're lying.

Oh my God.

I love it.

Thanks.

That's amazing.

You say everything
I do is amazing.

I don't even know if
you're being real or not.

- Okay, sure.
- No, I'm being totally real.

Hey, can I show you a painting?

Okay.

I didn't do this but it's
definitely my favorite.

What do you think?

I think she's naked.

I think she looks
exactly like you.

What are
you listening to?

Beethoven.

You like it?

Yeah, I guess.

I'm not really familiar
with any of his songs.

What kind of stuff
do you listen to?

Stuff from the past century?

I don't know.

This recording was
done in the past century.

Okay, whatever.

I don't listen to Beethoven.

Do you like it?

That's pretty good!

Yeah, I'm on a roll today.

It's my second one.

Scarlet, do you mind
if I introduce you

to my friends Will and Larry?

They're right here.

Here, just say hi real quick.

Hey, Scarlet!

When I talk to you,
I sort of feel intimidated

because I feel like you're like,

the coolest person
I've ever met.

I am
so far from cool.

So how'd you
start being a dom?

I was into before
I can even remember.

Yeah, when I was little,

I would always choose like,

the weakest boy in the class,

like the one that got
picked on the most,

and I would request
play dates with him,

and I would just torture him.

Yeah.

I used to make this one
boy pretend to be a pony.

Show me again?

It's incredible.

I love the way you
use the yellow.

Yeah.

I wanted to switch it up a
little bit and try something new.

Hey, so let's
play a little game.

I don't like games.

What kind of game?

I know you live
in New York City.

I do not live in New York.

I've never been there.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

No, I saw you the other night.

You did not see me.

- You saw my doppelganger.
- I did, I did,

and I'm not mad.

I'm mad!

I get it!

I get your need
to keep your work

and your private life separate.

What would you say if I had
a picture of you in New York?

I wanna see it.

What would you say if I had
a picture of you in New York?

I'd say, wow, you're
really great at Photoshop.

Okay, here's the deal.

If I get evidence, like a
picture or a video of you here,

you have to go on a
trip with me to Paris.

I can't just pick up
and go to Paris with you.

Why not?

- Yeah, of course you can.
- That's crazy.

- No, you're crazy.
- Of course you can.

No, think about
it, think about it!

We could have the
best time ever.

We could go see all
the greatest museums,

see the best paintings
known to man.

We could drink wine

by the sand,

we could listen to
beautiful music, make love.

- Come on!
- Okay.

That all sounds wonderful,

but you're never gonna
get a picture of me.

- I don't live in New York.
- Oh.

- I'm sorry, I wish I did.
- Oh, game is on.

Game is on, girl.

Game is on.

Well, what are you
ding-dongs doing here?

Got a business
proposition for you.

My son's tuition
is due in a week.

In one week I gotta
come up with 25 grand.

Listen, if we give
you money right now,

can you win it back
for us in blackjack?

I mean, you know all the
tricks and shit, right?

Yeah, I could win,

but I mean, if it's
your son's tuition,

I could easily lose it.

That's not even the most
sound financial plan.

That's a risk he's
willing to take,

but if you could win,

then there's a little
kickback in it for.

No, I
wouldn't be doing this

as like a fucking moneymaker.

- I'm just saying.
- I would do it to help,

but all right, hold on.

Let's talk real figures here.

How much do you have?

I got about a quarter
of what we need.

- No, dude, I can't.
- Six, you have six.

- A quarter?
- A quarter.

It's risky
for me to play

with anything less than half.

He has six.

How much do you need?

Yeah, 'cause that's all I got.

I got six solid, liquid.

If I put in five,

our pot would be 11,

and then we can do
that in one hand.

I could fucking double your
money in one fucking hand.

You could do that,
man?

Of course I can.

You think I don't do it
like every fucking night?

I mean, we could
put his whole 6,000

on a fucking roulette.

And if that's the case...

No, I don't
wanna do that, man.

None of this 50-50 shit.

No, no, I can win it
in like, four hands.

I need like, four solid hands.

I'll tell you something.

Like a week ago I don't think
I would be ready for this.

But right now,

I don't wanna jinx anything,

but stars are really
aligning in my life,

and I feel like now
is the perfect moment

to capitalize

but not in a capitalistic way.

Look, I'll pay you
back every single penny.

You don't have to
worry about that.

This is all for your
fucking son, okay?

Man.

But okay.

Let's chill.

Let's pretend this
conversation didn't happen

for like five minutes

and then we'll revisit the idea.

Cool?

Good idea.

- Push.
- This is how it goes.

Yeah, you have to
win two to lose.

Yeah, but there's
a lot of push

on this fucking machine, bro.

I know, it's okay.

Here, here, here.

This is where we make up for it.

- Push.
- Fuck!

What did I just say?

I know, I know.

You don't
say shit like that.

It puts it in the ether.

You know, they listen
to you, you know?

Don't.

Dude, man, you're
up like $1,100.

Yeah, I know, but I'm
gonna lose right now.

So watch me, I'm
gonna do a small one.

Don't say that, man.

No, it's not a bad thing.

Oh, you're going down.

I just feel that
this one is not it.

Take it anyways, man.

Just take it.

Like, I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised
if they get 20.

- Dealer busts.
- Oh, okay, that's fine.

- I don't know, bud.
- We're on a good streak.

So I'm gonna take
advantage of that.

101 Dalmatians.

Dealer busts.

That's what I'm talking about!

Don't fucking
let me bet small,

because when I go small,

I go fucking yeah!

- Let's go!
- Straight up, straight up!

50s and 100s, man.

Just fucking , man!

That's why they call
me Blackjack Jack!

Gotta go.

I gotta roll.

- Oh, shit!
- Player busts.

Damn it!

Hey, man, you should...

No, quiet,
quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet.

Henry, hey.

What the hell is
going on down here?

- Henry...
- I'm sorry we've been

a little bit too loud.

Get in here,
man, smoke a bowl.

I'm sorry that it's taken
me so long to get out of here.

I'm gonna be out of
here in three days.

And I figured out a way
to get all of these books

and everything gone, all right?

We're playing
some cards, Henry.

Come on.

We're doing one
hit, is that cool?

This has got to be
the worst paint job

I've ever seen in my life.

It's just one coat, Henry.

All right.

Also, question for you.

What made you decide
to go with this color?

Because it's not typical.

It's like Area
51 in here, man.

There's a family moving in

and the children like the color.

- Really?
- Oh.

What're you gonna do?

Aliens.

Henry, come on.

Okay, see you, buddy.

I'm sorry.

Listen, I'm gonna keep
him under control, okay?

Okay, I gotta get up
early in the morning,

so try to keep it down?

Oh, right, all right.

Okay, sorry, sorry.

All right, love you,
thank you, Henry.

Yo, get me a beer, man.

Hey, Jackie.

So what's this big news
you have to tell me?

Did you finally snap
a picture of me?

Oh, well, it's not
really that big a deal.

I just wanted to tell somebody.

So you remember that guy
that you saw me with,

the older one?

Oh,
yeah, I remember him.

Yeah, well,

I'm gonna help him pay for his
son's first year of college.

Oh God.

I'm embarrassed to say this,

but what the reason I
wanted to tell you is,

you know how people say you
make me a better person,

or my lover makes
me a better person?

Well, I feel like I finally
get what that means now.

Thinking about
quitting camming.

What, really, you are?

Yeah.

Why?

It was never really supposed
to be this longterm thing.

It just kind of happened.

Well, you know what
you should be doing

is painting full-time.

Is there a way we could
still keep in touch?

Maybe.

Are you gonna give me a
discount on the See Stream?

God, yes!

Of course!

You're one of my beta testers.

You know, either way,

it totally doesn't matter,

'cause soon enough we'll
both be on a plane to Paris.

What was that?

What was what?

I heard something.

I heard someone come in.

Turn the camera over there.

No.

Like, no one is here.

I'm the only person here, relax.

Wait, why
are you lying to me?

Turn the camera.

I'm not fucking lying.

I'm not turning the camera.

Yeah, you are;

I'm paying you right now!

Don't forget the
meter's fucking running!

Turn the camera!

Oh, wow.

Okay.

You know what?

I don't fucking need
this shit from you,

so have a nice day, Jack.

What do you want, Duke?

Since when do you do
cam shows in our bedroom?

So there's something
that I have to tell you.

We've saved up enough and
we got the liquor license.

That's so good!

Duke's is
fully operational.

Oh, you did it!

The stage is ready for play.

That's
incredible, babe.

And it was a long
and arduous journey,

but
now we're all set.

Babe, what's the deal
with this Jack guy?

He's loaded, right?

He's like some
kind of Wall Street

or Silicon Valley type of dude?

I guess.

He's clearly
fucking crazy for you.

I bet you could ask him for
some extra funds.

There's just gonna be all these
extra costs next few months.

And I still gotta pay
the fucking PR guys.

Oh, and they might get the Times

- to come to our opening.
- No way?

We might get the New York
fucking Times to come down.

- You're kidding?
- I'm not kidding.

I mean, it's not
written in stone yet.

Babe, that's amazing!

- I know!
- Oh my God.

We just need a
little bit more.

Yeah.

Baby, do you remember what
we used to always talk about?

I mean, the reason why I
wanted to open Duke's for you?

We want me to create
from a place of love,

not of resistance.

And we do.

I make us money so
you can do your thing.

I love you so much.

I know.

- Hi.
- Hey.

What's up?

Just phone calls.

Yeah, are you busy?

Yeah.

Did you have a chance to
read my notes on the script?

No, I've been so busy.

I haven't.

I mean, just phone calls,

and with the money
not being raised yet,

we have to have something
set in stone now.

I know,

but you made it seem
like it was so urgent.

I did it overnight.

It was urgent,

but like, we don't
have the money yet.

And we can't keep changing
the scripts at this point.

You know, as far
as investors and...

- Uh-huh.
- You understand.

Investors?

You mean me?

Okay, guys,
whenever you're ready.

One more time.

From the top?

- Yes, please.
- All right.

All I'm saying, it's
gonna be fucking terrific.

It's better than terrific.

It's gonna be
fucking unbelievable.

When the theater space opens

and you can quit talking
to these men and just...

When?

When you
finally get the money,

and then you'll quit,

and then we'll just be
working here together.

I don't
think we're ever gonna have

enough money for me to quit.

We're almost there.

Are you kidding me?

What if I don't want to?

That's the whole thing.

That's what we're
talking about right now.

That's
not what we talked about.

I mean, you're
hurting me right now.

I don't understand.

Well, that's on you.

If you're hurt, it's on you.

But here's the thing,

this is what we've
always worked towards.

Would you rather be poor
and doing what you want,

or be somebody's
fucking whore and rich?

I really don't appreciate
it when you call me a whore.

I'm not calling you a whore.

I'm just saying...

- Well, you just did!
- I mean, okay...

You just called
me somebody's whore.

Okay, look in a dictionary,

and the definition
of a whore is someone

who performs sexual
favors for money.

- I
- don't feel like a whore.

So by
definition, you're a whore.

Are you calling me a whore?

Do you think I'm a whore?

No, I don't, but
well, yes, I do,

because by definition,
you're a whore!

Well, get over it.

- Get over it.
- By definition,

- you're a whore.
- Get over it.

Get over it.

Okay,
I mean, I love whores.

I don't have anything
against whores.

Oh, well, was
anyone gonna tell me

that the fucking
play was about me?

The play's not just about you.

Well, you're fucking showcasing
all my personal business.

It's fucking embarrassing.

Look, this is still
just the rehearsal.

We'll get there.

You know, it's not gonna
be so autobiographical,

but in order for the actors
to know where to take it,

me and Sandra talked about
it and just felt like,

you know, that the other
rehearsals were a little flat.

Maybe if we used some of
the stuff from our life,

it would make it have a
little bit more panache.

Okay, and you didn't
think to tell me that?

You didn't think that
that was important,

that maybe I should
know that, right?

I thought I told you.

You know you didn't
fucking tell me!

My whole thing is honesty.

I mean, that's like
what I'm all about,

and that's what this
was supposed to be.

No.

Maybe I'm too
honest sometimes.

I get it, I get it, I get it.

Maybe I'm too honest sometimes.

And I'm sorry for that.

You were honest at my expense.

If it was at your
expense, it was equally mine.

I feel like we share everything,

so sure, sometimes whenever
I'm self-flagellating,

you get part of the
collateral damage.

And I'm sorry for that.

I'm trying to be
better about that.

But like, right
now where I'm at,

yeah, you're in the play

because you're what I think
about most of the day,

and the idea that I would
not bring you in there

seems fucking stupid.

The play's personal.

That felt so real
and uncomfortable.

And I feel honestly like raped,

or something of my own issues

that I haven't even
come to terms with;

to then just see them like
that, thrown in my face.

Right.

But isn't that like,
kind of a good thing,

that you know...

No, it's not a
fucking good thing!

Okay, I just mean
in terms of like,

we come to this space to
have reactions, good and bad,

and so the fact that
you're seeing this on like,

a really early rehearsal,

you felt like visceral.

I feel like in my mind,

that's a sign that
we're onto something.

No.

- Duke?
- What?

I just need to know if what
that fucking shitty actor

was saying, was it true?

Is that how you really feel?

No.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Mic check.

Keep your head still
and try not to blink.

I want you to imagine
there's an invisible box

around your head,

and if you move your
head even just one inch,

you will set off a trigger.

What does the
trigger do?

I feel like you're
not taking this seriously.

Look at me.

I am taking this seriously.

For how much longer
do I have to do this?

This is your punishment

for logging off on me.

You will do whatever I
tell you to do, okay?

Okay.

Look at me.

Open your mouth.

Stick out your tongue.

Like that?

Repeat after me,

I have the sexiest body
that anybody's ever seen.

I have the sexiest body
that anyone's ever seen.

Yeah, that's good.

That's a good girl.

I have the hottest mouth that
can make any cock rock hard.

Say that.

I have the hottest mouth

that could make
any cock rock hard.

Say it again.

I have the hottest fucking mouth

that can make any
cock rock hard.

I have the hottest
fucking mouth

that could make
any cock rock hard.

Take off your shirt.

Take off your bra.

Oh yeah.

Oh my God, so fucking hot.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Oh, fuck yeah.

Oh my God, yeah.

Taste yourself.

Taste your fingers.

Oh my God, yeah.

Talk to me.

Tell me you wanna fuck me.

I wanna fuck
you so hard, baby.

- I
- wanna fuck you too.

Oh God, yeah.

So this room
was my roommate's.

Why is it so empty?

Well, he's gone.

Where'd he go?

Oh, that is the
million dollar question.

Nobody knows.

What do
you mean nobody knows?

He just disappeared?

He's dead.

Oh.

Sorry.

Sorry, my bad.

It's all right.

What happened?

Well, one thing you
could say about Joe

was that like, he
wasn't a hypocrite.

He didn't just
talk about suicide.

He actually did it.

Damn, how'd he do it?

Heroin.

I forgot my keys one night

and so I was like,
banging on the door

to get him to let me in,

and he wasn't answering,

so I was just like,

"Oh, shoot, what the fuck's up?"

Has he like, got
his headphones on

or must be just like, really
fucked up, like normal.

I actually ended up breaking
in through the window,

this one right here.

And yeah, I found him
lying on the floor.

He'd been dead for
almost like, three days.

Oh my
God, I'm so sorry.

He's not suffering anymore.

30 minutes later though,

I was at a massage
parlor getting a tug.

You were not?

Damn straight.

Oh my God.

You're such a perv.

Yeah, you love it.

Is that kind of when you
started getting into cam girls?

No, I've been into
cam girls for a minute.

Am I your favorite cam girl?

Like God, you're my
favorite girl, period.

So right before he
died, my roommate Joe,

he told me something
that I haven't been able

to get out of my system.

It's this idea

that he held very strongly.

And basically, it's just
that like, we as humans,

every relationship that
we're in is exploitative.

And yes, I mean that
in a Marxist way,

like with capital,

but also just interpersonally.

Like, nobody is in a
relationship with anyone,

any relationship,

even parent/child that isn't
based on a selfish gain.

Just like,

do you feel like you've
ever done something

for somebody else
that wasn't partially

to make yourself feel good?

Well.

We don't get this
money by Monday,

the whole show will
have been for nothing.

You know, all of our hard work?

I thought Duke had his money?

Not enough, apparently.

It's cheap.

I like that.

Yeah, it's cheap.

I mean, you could afford more.

I mean, you make bank
on that site, right?

You live in a space big
enough to hold a studio

and a theater space and....

Hey, Larry, what's up?

Jackie-boy!

You won't believe who
the fuck I just saw

coming around the corner.

Who?

That broad from San Francisco,

the cam girl.

Wait, what?

Are you fucking serious?

Yeah,
I'm dead serious.

Where are you?

How much is she worth to you?

You know what, I want $500.

500?

Matter of fact,
matter of fact, 600.

Matter of fact, $600.

Okay,
okay, that's fine.

Where are you?

I want 750
of your motherfucking,

cock-sucking dollars,

- how about that?
- Bro!

How about
that, Jackie-boy?

Bro, are you
fucking kidding me?

I can't give you $750!

I'm
fucking with you, bro.

All right, look.

I'm gonna trust you
on this, all right?

Please, can
you do it right now?

I got you.

Bye.

Fucking pussy stitch.

Ooh.

You here to see Duke?

Yeah.

He's upstairs.

Have you seen
what he's up to lately?

Fucking incredible.

So far out.

It's so fucking good.

And this is the
big inaugural show.

It has to be something special.

I was thinking of getting like,

the same letting guy
that did David's play.

Have you seen that guy's shit?

It's good.

Oh, were you looking
at the book I got you?

Yeah.

It kind of looks like me, right?

A little bit?

No.

What do you mean?

This totally looks like me.

Okay.

You know,
I know that you meant

what you said the other day.

I didn't.

I think you misinterpreted
what I was saying.

No, I didn't.

I know exactly what
you were saying.

No, look.

You know that I look up to you.

Sure.

I mean, I think
about you constantly.

And do you wanna hear
something fucked up?

What did you do?

One day I kind
of let my curiosity get

the best of me.

And so I set up an account
and we had a session.

You know, I said that
I didn't have a cam

or microphone, but.

I can't believe
you would do that.

I'm glad I did it.

- Look, fuck.
- Ugh, no.

You were so fucking beautiful.

What the fuck, Duke?

How many times did you do this?

I mean, I don't know.

I used a different
account each time, but.

That's so fucked up.

You're wasting my time.

I could be making money.

Whose money did you use?

I mean, it was
your money, but.

Oh, so you used
my money to cam with me?

I mean,
I used our money,

and it just circled,

but look, I mean, let's
go to the bedroom.

I'm
mad at you, Duke.

Don't be mad at me.

I'm really mad.

I know you are.

Don't be.

Did you
like it at least?

I like it.

I mean, it's fucking incredible.

- I mean, you're incredible.
- Yeah?

You know, if you weren't
such a jealous little bitch,

then maybe I'd
fuck you right now.

Oh, man,
my Lord of jealousy.

For it is the green-eyed monster

that doth mock...

I really don't know

what you're saying right now.

And we had eyes

and she chose me.

Scarlet, hey, what's up?

Hey, Jackie.

Nothing, I was just
thinking about you.

You were?

Yeah, I
wanna come to New York.

Can you fly me out
tomorrow morning?

Are you
fucking kidding me?

Why would
I be kidding you?

I wanna come.

Oh!

Yeah.

Well, you
don't seem very excited!

No, no, no, no.

I mean, I really
want you to come.

It's just like...

What's that?

I have no idea.

Fuck.

It might be Will or Larry.

Those guys are up early.

Hold on, stay on the line.

I just gotta take care of this.

Oh my God, I wanna see
you so bad.

Hold on, hold, hold.

Hey, Jackie.

So I'm guessing
this is Joe's room?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Cheers.

So,

I guess you don't actually
live in San Francisco.

Of course not.

I've never even been
to San Francisco.

Why don't you take
that picture of me?

You said you wanted to
get a picture of me?

Here.

Make sure I look cute.

Is this good?

- This angle is good?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Oh my God.

Well, so what are you gonna do?

Where are you gonna go?

What do you mean?

I'm going to Paris.

You are?

With who?

With you, silly.

You said that if you took a
picture of me in New York,

that you would take me to Paris.

Oh my God, I did.

Yeah.

Are you not a man of your word?

No, no, I am.

Scarlet?

Are you awake?

Scarlet?

Scarlet?

Are you awake?

Nuh-uh.

Okay, yeah, me either,
I'm just checking.

What time is it?

Six.

How'd you sleep?

Not that great.

Why?

Because you woke
me up like 10 times.

I'm sorry.

Oh God, I'm so sorry.

I don't know, I feel like
it's Christmas morning.

- I can't sleep.
- Oh my God.

How could I sleep?

You know, I was thinking,

so like, once we get to Paris,

we could get like a
little temporary studio

and we could set up a space
for you to do your painting.

And I mean, we could
even have a place for you

to do your cam work if you
wanted to continue doing that.

Okay, I mean,
that sounds nice.

What are you gonna
do about your job?

My job?

Oh, I can totally
do that online.

Yeah, yeah, no, I can totally
continue my research online.

Okay, okay, good.

Wanna look at tickets?

Yes!

You know, we should
stop by your place,

maybe on the way out.

I feel like you're
gonna want more

than what's in that
little suitcase, right?

You're not gonna buy
me nice things in Paris?

Oh, of course I am.

You know what, I think
I'm just gonna be like you

and like, just throw
out all my stuff.

I really don't need
any of this shit.

Like why do I even
have anything?

Here's some chips.

Here's some chips from 2005.

Oh my God, you're
throwing everything away.

Yeah, I
know, it's great.

- I feel so fucking liberated.
- Yeah?

Oh, look.

This is great.

I'm glad I kept a
whole collection of straws.

This is for all the milkshakes
that I didn't make.

You find anything?

Uh-huh, 2:30 direct flight.

Oh my God, incredible!

Yeah.

Let me give you my debit card.

No, that's okay.

It's my treat, babe.

- No.
- Yeah.

Okay, so listen,

why don't you just
finish up here.

Okay.

And I'll wait outside.

Just need to get some air.

- Okay.
- Sure, thank you.

Of course, of course, boo.

I'll see you.

Wait, let me
little run with you.

I wanna go to an ATM
around the corner.

I feel it'd be good to have
some cash for the airport.

Okay.

Yeah, that's a great idea.

I just have one really
important question for you.

So, do you think we
should make love here

or wait until we land in Paris?

Because I can totally
see the pros and cons

of either situation.

It's like, it could
be really fun to wait,

but at the same time, like,
why wait at all, you know?

Actually I think we should
just get back in there

and get to it.

What do you think?

No, no, no, insufficient funds?

What the?

- No, no, no, no!
- Yeah, that's what you get,

- you fucking pervert!
- Wait, wait, wait.

Open up!

Ah!

Whoa, that
was fucking wild!

Baby, you did the right thing.

You handled that like
such a professional.

I mean, how'd you get
on his private cams?

Did you have to log in
front of him or what?

I mean, wow.

You did such a great job.

I'm so proud of you.

That was not easy.

Did you have to
have sex with him?

No.

Woo!

All right, fuck.

Woo!

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck!

Sir, I don't see
an issue with the account.

No, I'm looking
at it right now.

February the 28th, $10,000.

That's a cam girl site.

Do you know what that is?

I can guess.

Well, I'll tell you,

it's humanly impossible
to spend that much.

I am seeing
previous verified charges

on the site.

No, it doesn't matter
what I've done in the past.

I'm talking about this charge.

That's a fraudulent charge.

I need that taken away.

I'm sorry, sir,

but I can't take
that charge away.

What do you mean you
can't take it away?

I'm asking you to
do your fucking job

and remove a charge
that I didn't make.

Sir, I
cannot take it away.

But I didn't make the charge!

That's a crime against me.

Sir, I see that you
okayed charges to that site

on the 27th, the 26th, the 25th,

the 24th, the 23rd, the 22nd...

Give me the news, man.

Tell me, tell me,
tell me, how we doing?

Hey man, can you
speak up a little bit?

I can barely hear you.

Dude, I lost it.

We lost it.

What do you mean you lost it?

What do you mean?

You lost it all?

I thought we were
gonna talk about this

before you did that?

Yeah, I know.

Well, what's left?

I mean,
there's nothing.

There's nothing left?

Fuck!

Hey, Joe.

Oh, I'm such a fucking idiot!

Oh.

So fucking dumb.

I'm such a fucking idiot!

How the fuck did I
let you do this to me?

Where's that money?

Where's the money?

It's gone, Jack.

Well, then get outta here.

No, I don't want to.

No, I said get
the fuck outta here.

I don't want to.

- Please don't make me.
- Get the fuck outta here!

- Get the fuck outta here!
- Please don't make me.

Do you hear me?

Get the fuck outta here!

Get up!

I can help you
get some of it back.

No, no, I don't
need some of it back!

I need all of it.

Are you gonna get me
that money back or what?

Hello?

What are you doing?

Get up, get the fuck outta here!

Jack.

Please.

You told me you were rich.

I'm not rich.

What about See Stream
and the investors?

I made that up.

You believed me about that?

You thought I had
people working for me?

That's so dumb.

You said that, Jack!

I wanted you to like me,

so I told you I had a good job!

Okay, well, you lied,

and this is why you're
in this predicament.

No, I'm in this predicament

because you and your
boyfriend stole money from me!

Not to mention, you
broke into my house.

I didn't break
into your house.

You're also a stalker.

What the fuck are
you talking about?

I didn't break into your house.

Jack.

You broke into my house

and you checked your fucking
emails on my computer.

Like, who the fuck does that?

Who goes to someone's house,

breaks in,

and then checks their email?

Like, what were you thinking?

Oops.

Yeah, oops is right.

You're fucking deranged.

Actually, I'm gonna
call the police right now.

Oh, you think that's funny?

I'm gonna get the cop...

You're not
gonna call anybody.

- Oh, absolutely.
- No, you're not.

I'm gonna get a
uniformed officer down here.

- Oh, yes!
- And they're

- gonna arrest you.
- Sexy uniform!

- Call 'em.
- Yeah!

Yeah, let's get 'em over here.

Yeah, let me do it.

- Let me do that.
- Call the boys.

- What is it again?
- Yeah, call 'em.

Is it still 911?

Let's see.

- I'm gonna do it.
- Okay, do it.

Oh my God, I can't
wait for you to do it.

Yeah.

You better really
start begging.

You might not like
the outcome though.

You might not like the outcome.

Oh, really?

I might not like the outcome?

Yeah, you might not like it.

I actually think I am gonna
love seeing you in handcuffs.

Jack, the only person that's
gonna be in handcuffs is you.

What's your real name?

I know it's not Scarlet.

It is Scarlet.

I like Scarlet better
than my real name.

Can we fuck?

Just once?

- Just once?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Are you gonna kiss me?

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Fuck.

Oh, fuck.

What's the matter, you got
whiskey dick or something?

I don't know, I don't know
what's happening, I'm sorry.

What am I gonna do with that?

I'm sorry.

Nuh-uh.

I don't know what's going on.

I'm sorry.

All right, I have an idea.

Nuh-uh.

What?

- No!
- What are you doing?

It's not how the game works.

Stay!

Okay, so I want you to picture

that there's an invisible
line from here to here,

and you can't cross
it no matter what.

And if you do,

something really
bad's gonna happen.

- Understood?
- Okay, yeah.

Okay, don't move.

Mind if I smoke, Jackie?

I think this is
a no-smoking room.

You really don't wanna
see smoke coming out

of my big, beautiful
lips, Jackie?

Yeah.

Open up.

Now, are you gonna be
a good little slave

and get your cock hard for me?

Gimme your hand.

Now, stroke it.

Yeah.

Ooh.

You're so close.

May I spit in my hand?

Uh-huh.

- Oh, wow.
- Oh, fuck yeah.

Yeah?

Your cock is really
nice in person.

Can you touch yourself for me?

It's gonna cost you.

I'll pay.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, fuck.

Ah.

Yeah.

Oh, fuck yeah.

Oh.

Hey, this is Will,
you've reached my cell.

Please leave me
your name and number

and I will get back to
you as soon as possible.

Hey, Will, it's me.

So listen, man, we're
gonna get your son's money.

I have a new plan.

I'm with a friend of
mine and she's, yeah.

She's great,

and she's gonna help,

and we might have
to wait a semester,

but I swear we're gonna get it.

Okay, yeah!

Call me back!

Bye.
